The Tamron Theater

"All of us tend to think of Tamron as a great manufacturer of optics. Let's face it, they make GREAT glass, but there's another aspect to Tamron's incredible presence in the industry. They believe in education and support for photographers who are working professionals, aspiring pros and serious hobbyists. They're all about helping you with the quality of every image you capture, from their workshops and Tailgate Tour to tech support online, Customer Service and all of their educational material.

In the Tamron Theater we're sharing videos, podcasts, guest posts and images from some of the very best artists in the world.

I love these short videos because they're real world and real applications. Shoots Mediais at the Lamborghini dealership in Paramus, New Jersey working on their upcoming short film, "Adrenaline." I love the way they're putting Tamron's lenses to the test, but what about that yellow Lamborghini?

There are so many different benefits that come from the quality Tamron puts into every lens they manufacturer. I particularly liked Will Baker's comment about consistency...

"The vibration compensation and optical design of the G2 lenses is incredible. As a director, consistency is huge for me. To be able to switch off between a wide and tight angle lens and still hold the same color profile and sharpness was a huge bonus."

The short video below is only a one minute piece, but you'll still pick up a couple of great points on technique. Then wander into your Tamron dealer and check out their family of outstanding optics for yourself.

Just click on the lens to read the product highlights on this remarkable new telephoto.

Perfect for "Tamron Tuesday," Tamron USA, Inc. announced just a few days ago the development of a new ultra-telephoto 100-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD zoom lens (Model A035) for full-frame DSLR cameras. The full launch is anticipated before year end.

The first paragraph of the press release says it all - the lightest weight in its class and it's a 100-400mm zoom!

The advanced optical design of Model A035 includes 3 LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements for greater aberration reduction and Tamron's original eBAND Coating for superior anti-reflection performance. At 39.3 oz., the new lens is the lightest weight in its class[1] and features magnesium material in key areas of the lens barrel to improve weight reduction, strength and portability.

The press release will take you through the highlights of this new member of the Tamron family. As I've written before, Tamron isn't just building great optics, they're helping artists capture greater images!

Below is the first episode of season three with the "Dynamic Duo" of Ken Hubbard and André Costatini, two of my favorite Tamron artists.

What made me enjoy this even more than past episodes is their traveling buddy, Michael Gilbert. Michael's been featured several times here at SCU, as well as in a "Tamron Talks" episode in 2015. Our friendship goes back easily twenty-five years.

André and Ken definitely have a couple of the best jobs in the industry, and with a sidekick like Michael they hit some truly wonderful points on composition, lighting and even Tamron's new moisture proof construction!

This is the first episode, so the fun of following Tamron this fall just got a little better!

If you haven't checked out Tamron's full product line, it's time to get into your nearest Tamron dealer. Tamron isn't just building outstanding lenses with some of the finest optics in the world, they're also helping to build better artists!
